21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 31

 

London Bridge is falling down,

Falling down, falling down,

And the reason that its falling down

Built by Wimpy

PUT DOWN # 30

 

Put downs work the best

For deflecting unwanted attention

But try to be amusing

As this relieves the tension

When he sidles up to you with his pick up line

Before he has chance to deliver it

Just say to him

“Nice cologne, but did you have to marinate in it?”

THE NINE MUSES OF THE ARTS – POLYHYMNIA (MUSE OF HYMNS)

 

The nine muses

Daughters of Zeus

Inspiring of mortals

And nurturers of the arts

The sixth was,

The divine Polyhymnia,

The one of many hymns,

Was the Muse of sacred poetry and sacred hymns

Of eloquence and pantomime

In her long cloak and classical pose

Polyhymnia was a serious, pensive and meditative muse

LIFE’S HIGHWAY # 2

 

It seems that no matter which road I travel

As soon as I turn onto it the road works begin

They always get there before me with one exception  

There are never any problems on the road to ruin

SHEEPISH

 

A man walked into his bedroom

Where his wife was preparing for sleep

And stood in the doorway

Holding a leash attached to a sheep

“Sweetheart when you have a headache

This is the cow I make love to”

The wife looked at him with utter contempt

Then took his silence as her cue

Saying “If you weren't such a numbskull,

You’d know that's not a cow it’s a yew

He replied “If you weren't so conceited

You’d realise I wasn’t talking to you”

STAY, STAY, STAY

 

Conscious of the danger to an animal

Being left inside a parked car

A woman opened the car window

So, her puppy could get some air

But the little pup saw the open window

As a route to escape the car

And the woman had to stop

Before she had got very far

She stood and pointed at the dog

Firmly saying stay, stay, stay

A woman of the blonde persuasion

Was watching her from some distance away

But she had to keep repeating it

Until she felt it safe to go

The blonde woman shouted to her

“You can use the hand brake you know”

DOPEY BROTHER

 

My brother has a really bad habit

He smokes pot to excess you see

When he needs more from his dealer

He picks up the phone and hits the hash key
